Nope. Don't want to be too obvious

Whoa there FtB. The pay and the scope I agree on.

Prove it about the work rules and benefits.

I am a very happy camper. I picked up a white slip earlier this month. Just happened to be paired up with a check airman. Lucky me, they bought my trip so they could do OE with a newbie. The time for 23g5 just expired and I'm coolin' and chillin' with a cocktail and getting paid for a 3 day!!!!!!! Party at my house this weekend!!!!!!

I'm sure it's hard for those guys to have a good attitude with all their shrinkage, but sarcastic PAs are not the answer.


Yea, my canceled GS today resulted in my commuting home on Comair - the 3 hour late edition. Unlike the guy that had the sarcastic comments, we basically had no PAs while we sat at the gate for over an hour.

Reason #64 to recapture scope - A happy commuter is one who doesn't have to rely on Comair.

The premiums blow any others out of the water, but I've got friends there that have had total nightmares with the service. Lots of stuff denied, not paid, billed wrong, etc. They also have co-pays which when you factor those in can offset the lower premiums by quite a bit if you go to the doctor alot. It's cheaper, but cheaper isn't always better when it comes to health insurance from what I've experienced.

You've got to watch those out of pocket expenses and deductibles, as well. You go get one MRI or CT, and you can easily be a couple grand out the door.

Details still matter...a lot. You can't just focus on the numbers in bold.

I agree 100%. I have a ton of friends there and most use their spouses insurance. Costs more in premiums but coverage is better than LUV's
